The only reason I would be purchasing Force Fins is because of these major toe/foot cramps. I don't mind the hefty price tag if it'll keep me cramp free. No shops locally carry this brand so I can't try it on in person.

It seems like the Original Force...

First post - hope this isn't too stupid a question, but we have a Body Glove mask where one side of the strap has come completely out of the holders at the side (you can tell I'm a pro!)

Does anyone know how or if we can rethread it? We have tried but can't see how it's possible.

Next up on my list are Mermet Springs, Gilboa Quarry, ad Dutch springs.
If you are near any of these places let me know. I need a good dive buddy to train with and possibly get some footage of you diving for my YouTube channel, which I just started.

Here's a video taken with my GoPro at a quarry in Tennessee. Check out my YouTube channel at...

My current fins seemed to have curled in the heat. just the tips but I really hate them now. So much so that all my snorkel and free diving has been done with the short pod fins. You know the stuff the boggie board guys use.

So it is time to get some real fins for my activities. I am...

There are a lot of gadgets nowadays that let you stay underwater for longer periods of time; however, I was wondering, if you freedive to a certain depth and then breath from those equipment while you're under, assuming it's filled with regular air (not oxygen or any special mix) and letting the air out before starting to ascend, would that give you the bends if you stay underwater for more than 10 minutes and go deeper than 10 meters?

Please see the article below about an incident in Australia. Is the media not doing their job and just hyping an existing problem, or is this something new.
